Chocolate Marshmallow Meltaways
Kids are thrilled to find a marshmallow hidden under this cookie's cocoa frosting. I enjoyed these cookies as a child, and now my own family loves them, too. —Joanna Swartley, Harrisonburg, Virginia

I’ve been making these cookies since I found it in the Best of Country Cookies. They are everyone’s favorite, and request them whenever I need to make cookies for an event, or a hunting trip. I double the recipe and use a 2 tablespoon cookie scoop and I get 4 dozen good size cookies.
My family loved these! I used whole milk instead of 2% and added some sprinkles. Fun to make with kids!
My kids really enjoyed helping with these, especially the marshmallow. They were very sweet and chocolatey.
The kids really enjoyed helping with these, especially putting on the marshmallow. Extra sweet and chocolatey.
I had half a bag of marshmallows that I wanted to use up. I always check TOH first, because the recipes are tried and true, for arecipe and found this one. I like the moistness of the cookie. The cookie it's self is not that sweet and the marshmallow and frosting compliment each other. My husband said Mmmm! Cool! I used a small cookie scoop ( just the right size fir the cookie) and got 42 cookies. I made my frosting a little stiff and just frosted the top of the marshmallow.
I really enjoyed these cookies. They are different from anything I have in my recipe box and that's what I like so much about them. I agree with another reviewer... they are rich, but good! I used a scooper to form my cookies and I only got 28 instead of 36. The cookie is on the drier side, but with the marshmallow and icing, everything balances out. I will definitely make again!
These cookies were delicious, my husband and 3 year old son's preschool class loved them as well! I will definitely make them again as they'll be asking for them.
Absolutely delicious! It is rich, but one of the best cookie recipes I have found, and yet so simple.
One of my favorite cookie recipes. Nice and chocolatey and gooey. Though I admit I cheat and use pre-made frosting rather than make my own.
Really good cookies!
